1. I think it's Texas this time

[ananda]

2. Yes, just a few miles east of here.

It's a plains cold front coming through.

[crickets]

3. Texas is having a rough day. Also Oklahoma.

TX & OK DUers, please take cover and stay safe if there are storms in your area!

Live coverage from Ryan Hall, Y'all, who did an exceptional job of covering Hurricane Ian:

5. Great link

Saw one hell of a traffic crash in Colorado linked to the system as well

13. Love his dog

14. He's great. ;) I was watching right before you posted, but

what started out bad has become terrifying and horrific. It's heartbreaking to watch the coverage. Hopefully everyone in Idabel, OK reached shelter. There are several tornadoes going at once, at least two monsters on the ground right now in TX and OK, and a new tornado warning ringing out every few minutes. It's crazy.

Everybody pay attention and take shelter. Be safe.

15. I posted the OP because Muir really sounded worried

Damn -scary.

[malaise]

19. This is really serious

Highest level of warning - multiple homes destroyed

[crickets]

22. Ryan Hall warned last week that the cold front coming through was going to cause trouble.

That said, I don't think he realized how bad it was going to be, and is taken aback by the sheer number and strength of the storms. It's been a while since I've heard warnings about getting in shelter or underground "or you will not survive." It's terrible that it's at night, making rescue more difficult. I just hope everyone is hearing the warnings and finding a safe place to be.

[malaise]

23. I'm stunned by the sheer number of warnings

and the level of the warnings.
I’ll take my hurricanes over tornadoes every day of the week.

4. Weat Central Arkansas is under a tornado watch. Raining now, but looks

like heavier storms will move through later.

[malaise]

7. Stay safe

I hate night systems

[crickets]

16. According to the coverage I'm watching, the storms are heading into Arkansas.

Really bad weather may be on the way. Be careful and be safe.

8. I was watching TX chasers earlier...

10. Was watching the Weird Al movie

just saw this. We have had an inch and a half of rain so far but no severe warnings up in NE Kansas. In fact we have winter advisories with a possibility of 2 inches of snow to our South and West. We are just sitting here in the cooler weather watching the pond fill back up.

Be safe everyone. It used to be our weather for most of my life but it seems to have moved elsewhere. Whew!

[malaise]

20. Debris being thrown 20,000ft in Boston Texas.

Giant tornado he says crossing Red River

[MuseRider]

31. OMG

That is terrifying. I hope nobody here is very close to that. Oh that is just horrible.

I feel like we are living the disaster movies of our scariest movies.

I wish I could do more than the usual. Maybe later. I know how that feels.

[Beausoleil]

11. It's headed my way

Northeast Texas

[malaise]

12. Get ready

and stay safe

[rsdsharp]

17. No. We had some thunder and lightning about 5:30 AM,

and rain since then, which will continue until about noon tomorrow. But the temperature is in the 30s; too cold for a tornado.

[2naSalit]

24. We're having a wind storm in Montana...

I watched a trees limb get blown up the street, uphill, earlier in the day.

Last winter I watched snowballs rolling uphill on their own, it was kind of creepy.

[malaise]

25. Stay safe my friend

[2naSalit]

30. Thanks.

I am, put up everything that could fly away a couple days ago. We had warnings from NWS about it. Did I mention it was freezing since Thursday?

Only now that I looked it is suddenly +38F right now, but very windy with occasion snow bursts. Winter has arrived. It usually makes the transition within a few hours. It was almost +70F on Wednesday and is still warm on the eastern end of the state, until tomorrow. We're expecting snow every day for several days which is good. A solid snow pack by Thanksgiving is a really good thing as long as it keeps snowing and stays cold.

26. Don't know. Haven't checked. A little rain.

[malaise]

27. Not you tonight

Some major shit in Texas, Arkansas and Oklahoma -

[Solly Mack]

28. We get rain after Texas gets hit with a storm. Well, if it comes from Houston or Dallas.

[malaise]

33. Some good links upthread

They say lots of homes have been damaged, a school, church and and seafood restaurant.
Apparently there is serious damage.

[Solly Mack]

35. We are now under a tornado watch until 4 AM.

[malaise]

36. Freaking wow

Hope you’re OK

[Solly Mack]

39. Lots of thunder and lightning, some wind but mostly rain. We're all good.

Kind of funny, really. From not knowing there was a bad cell close by (Texas is only a few miles away from me) to a tornado warning.

Glad we didn't get worse.

[malaise]

40. Glad it missed you

29. Western Washington getting some flood warnings...

several rivers set to crest tonight by midnight. They're a bit north and east of me. The local river has a flood control dam up in the hills and it's doing OK so far. More heavy rain this weekend, though. Got one of those atmospheric rivers aimed at us.

[malaise]

32. Is your drought over now.

[Wounded Bear]

34. Not completely. It depends a bit on the snowpack...

If the snowpack stays for the winter and builds up, it will replentish the resevoirs and we could be out of trouble on that.

Last year, we had an early storm like this, but then had a warm spell that melted a lot of the snow pack off. East of the mountains had it a lot worse than us in the west. They get a lot less direct rain, and when the snow pack fails them, the water supply dwindles.

37. No Dangerous Weather Here

But, it's really windy.
30mph, gusts in the 40s, and from the southeast, which is an unusual direction here, any time of year.
Warmer than normal too, which does suggest atypical atmospheric volatility somewhere.

[malaise]

38. CNN just said the system was so large that it covered areas from

Lake Michigan to the Gulf Coast. Many folks are missing particularly in Oklahoma.
Glad you're safe
